That particular scene naturally made me a little uncomfortable. But even worse, was another typical Christmas day scenario. Everyone was required, of course, to try on his or her old ski boots, just to make sure there weren't going to be "any problems" on the slopes. My father would become very angry at anyone who had the nerve to warn him that his or her boots were probably three sizes too small. Of course, there are absolutely no places to buy ski boots on Christmas. So the slip-up would invariably mean a quick trip to the local...
...individual student. When enrolling at Harvard, I was not aware that I was signing up for a book or record club. If, in a rush, I neglect to waive my induction into the ranks of PIRG supporters, I am nevertheless penalized. I freely admit that such a scenario may border on the absurd; yet, I would like to raise the following point for discussion. The authors of the previously quoted article wrote that "...a failure to respond to the expressed preference of the majority...is an arrogant denial of students' rights."

With the nucleus of last year's Big Three of Princeton, Penn, and Columbia returning, don't be too surprised if the other five teams in the League only win 33 of 127 games as they did last year...
...ruse to lull Israel into complacency. Among the skeptics was the army's chief of staff, Lieut. General Mordechai Gur, who defied a gag order from Defense Minister Ezer Weizman and gave an interview to the Hebrew daily Yedioth Aharonoth, in which he offered a "worst case" scenario. Gur suggested that Sadat was preparing to launch a surprise attack on Israeli-occupied Sinai, similar to the one that started the 1973 October War. The general warned all Israelis to be "cautious and alert" while the visit was in progress...
